Kenya had an incredible bad year. The crop was bad and the yields were pathetic. On top of that Chinese traders played a role and smaller factories started up pushing prices up. No, we can say that 2017 crop is not a crop to remember from Kenya. We hope that 2018 will be more positive.

From the demand point of view for 2017 crop the situation remains extremely tight. Prices are basically at theoretical levels as there is hardly anything available. Most markets are going to struggle into 2018 season and it is wise to cover at least your first needs out of 2018 crop. China has started to cover already new crop even though their domestic production is expected to finally pick up speed.

China just had Singles day (11-11), which is now the largest single shopping day in the world (ALIBABA sold over USD 25 Billion worth of products!!). Macadamias typically do very well.

If you have any needs till June 2018 and obviously also out of new crop we look forward to hearing from you to make you tailormade offers.
